I got a lot of this from Waffles (the private music torrent site) before I was banned when my mom logged in on a PC in a different province at the same time as me to download some classical stuff for my sister. (They have ridiculously strict rules about multiple people using one account.)

I just found a torrent that includes the 2003 - Misc, Audiofucks, and Misc Shit Volume 4 from the OP, which I didn't have before. I'm not sure if the first and third are actual compilations by Benn or just fan compilations, the word around torrent sites is that there's no official Misc Shit Vol. 4, but I might as well have it all. I also tracked down "Music From my Laptop" and few of his MC Flashbulb singles, which I'll be sorting out today.

It's really exciting. I just assumed there would be a lot of unlistenable garbage in those rarer early albums, but some of this stuff is gorgeous. Currently listening to 2003 - Misc, which is the same time he released Resent and the April Sunshine Shed. It's full of great melodies and classical bits, it's got hints of the Réunion to come.

Re: Benn Jordan Unofficial Discography!!

I also haven't been able to find anything from sunioj's post before mine either. I wonder if any of you have tracked it down.

So most of this stuff can be found pretty easily(at least in downloadable format). But several things on his resume seem impossible to find at all. Are any of these available to download at all?

I'm finding some neat things, like a lot of the stuff that used to float around as unreleased tracks wound up in his official release Old Trees (1999-2011).

Track 10 - 17 reasons (2000) was floating around as "17 Reasons To Not Wake Up Tomorrow Morning"...

Both versions have identical waveforms, but I feel like he softened the title for his official release so it wouldn't be so depressing. Now I'm not sure if I should keep two duplicates of the same song just to have both variations of the title there, or modify the name of the official release, or just log it away in the ID3 tag as a comment or something!

Help guys, my OCD hasn't prepared me for this. All the other songs that resurfaced on Old Trees kept their original titles.

I'm also listening carefully for songs on Misc. Shit Vol. 3 (all named "untitled") which might have later been re-released with names.

In fact, it looks like the majority of Phoenix² songs are resurfacing either in Lucid32 or in Misc. Shit Volume 4, but in Misc. Shit Volume 4 (which may not even be an official release), the tracks magically have names!

I wonder if Phoenix² actually had track names which were lost, or if some of these tracks aren't correct. I'm getting confused, I'll let someone else put their two cents in.

Re: Benn Jordan Unofficial Discography!!

I tried to organize my misc BLJ tracks a long time ago. I also found that most tracks from Phoenix² and Misc shit were dupes :/ I got most of the older tracks from soulseek like 10 years ago (from Mark, I'm pretty sure) and I don't think anything 'new' has resurfaced since? The Lucid32 tracks, except 209328, Dimmer Saloon and Peach are dupes from Phoenix² (or the other way around?).

Re: Benn Jordan Unofficial Discography!!

Benn seriously needs to add more shit to his Bandcamp!! For real.

He should totally upload:

Lawn Funeral EP

Fly!

Drain Mode On

Binedump EP (with its exclusive extended version of "Dishevel")

Get Mad Now (if he's not too embarrassed, having recently found out the lyrics are homophobic/sexist... maybe not this one after all...)

Monday Night Select

The Nail (Original Score)

Red Extensions of Me's vinyl-only exclusive, "Today"

The five bonus tracks hidden in the "enhanced CD" part of Resent and the April Sunshine Shed

and of course, LAWN WAKES 1 through 11!! (or more?)

Basically anything only released on vinyl, or that's impossible to find in person. Please, Benn. I will send you so much money!

Re: Benn Jordan Unofficial Discography!!

Ugh, I hate that you cant' edit posts after 5 minutes.

Track 11 on Pheonix is also called Crystal from Misc. Shit Vol. 4.

If it were you guys, would you leave all the tracks on Pheonix Squared un-named, or fill in the names that were later revealed in Misc. Shit Vol. 4? Again, I don't even know if the original album had track names. I can't find any details on it anywhere except file sharing sites.

Re: Benn Jordan Unofficial Discography!!

Alright, here's my first stab at a detailed discography listing.

I'm hoping to eventually turn this into a relatively nice html page with collapsible albums that you can search and sort by year or by album artist, and putting it up on the web for any curious fans to explore, maybe along with links to Benn's bandcamp pages for albums he has up for sale.

Let me know if there's any glaring omissions or if any of you guys have something to contribute. I'm not too worried about the unreleased tracks or Live recordings, I have yet to fill them all in by pouring through Benn's soundcloud and other pages. The first step here is I've deleted all the 'unreleased tracks' that actually appear on official releases which have been polluting the various Flashbulb discography torrents out there. The only duplicates are songs that appear on multiple official releases, and that's only happened about 10 times.

The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\01 - The Trees In Juarez.mp3The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\02 - Blurry Figures, Far Away.mp3The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\03 - Arrival To An Empty Room.mp3The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\04 - Beebs.mp3The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\05 - A World I Never Noticed.mp3The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\06 - It Pours.mp3The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\07 - Terra Firma.mp3The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\08 - Good Luck Out There.mp3The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\09 - Dim Distant Porch Lights.mp3The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\10 - Insomnia In Roscoe Village.mp3The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\11 - Precisely Wrong.mp3The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\12 - Between The Waves.mp3The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\13 - Selected Garden.mp3The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\14 - Distant Shots.mp3The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\15 - Island On An Endless Plane.mp3The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\16 - It Never Ends.mp3The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\17 - The History Of Rain.mp3The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\18 - In The Grass.mp3The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\19 - Something That Had Died.mp3The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\20 - Fast Forward To Here.mp3The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\21 - Longing In A Stairway.mp3The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\22 - For The Asking.mp3The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\23 - Hospital Ride.mp3The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\24 - What I Imagine You To Be Like.mp3The Flashbulb - Opus At The End Of Everything (2012)\25 - Autumn Leaves And A Bath Tub.mp3
